  4. Diffused or ImplantedIC Resistor (Fig 2.451)

  5. An IC Resistor with L = 8W(M&K)1

  6. Typical IC dopingprofile (M&K Fig. 2.441)

  7. Mobilities**

  8. IC Resistor Conductance

  9. An IC Resistor with Ns = 8, R = 8Rs (M&K)1

  10. The effect of lateral diffusion (M&K1)

  11. A serpentine patternIC Resistor (M&K1) R = NSRS + 0.65NCRS note: RC = 0.65RS

  12. The equilibrium carrier concentration ahd the Fermi energy are related as The potential f = (Ef-Efi)/q If not in equilibrium, a quasi-Fermi level (imref) is used Fermi Energy

  13. Electron quasi-Fermi Energy (n = no + n)

  14. Hole quasi-Fermi Energy (p = po + p)

  15. Ex-field when Ef - Efi not constant • Since f = (Ef - Efi)/q = Vt ln(no/ni) • When Ef - Efi = is position dependent, • Ex = -df/dx = -[d(Ef-Efi)/dx] = - Vt d[ln(no/ni)]/dx • If non-equilibrium fn = (Efn-Efi)/q = Vt ln(n/ni), etc • Exn = -[dfn/dx] = -Vt d[ln(n/ni)]/dx

  17. Eo Making contact be-tween metal & s/c • Equate the EF in the metal and s/c materials far from the junction • Eo(the free level), must be continuous across the jctn. N.B.: qc = 4.05 eV (Si), and qf = qc + Ec - EF qc(electron affinity) qf (work function) Ec EF EFi qfF Ev

  18. Equilibrium Boundary Conditions w/ contact • No discontinuity in the free level, Eo at the metal/semiconductor interface. • EF,metal = EF,semiconductor to bring the electron populations in the metal and semiconductor to thermal equilibrium. • Eo - EC = qcsemiconductor in all of the s/c. • Eo - EF,metal = qfmetal throughout metal.
